  7. Academic Information

Each country provides aeronautical information concerning its own territory. This is published in the Aeronautical Information Publication (1) (AIP) and in Notices to Airmen (2) (NOTAM).

A pilot planning a flight will prepare his Flight Plan (3) from the information in these publications.

What sort of information does a pilot need to know when flying to another country or another aerodrome? For instance, he will want to know which airway (4) to follow.

Further information the pilot needs is, what sort of facilities (5) are available en route and at the aerodrome of his destination. Whether the aerodrome has suitable fuel available; paved runways; the length of these runways; the elevation of the aerodrome (6); what hangar space is available; the communication frequencies, and what meteorological information is available. This is some of the useful information that is in the AIP and NOTAM.

A pilot, therefore, who is flying from the United States to Japan presents himself to the Briefing Officer (7) at the aerodrome of departure. He fills out a Flight Plan giving the route he is to follow and the description of the route, the name of the aerodrome of his departure and that of his destination.Also the name of an alternate aerodrome. (8) This is given in case the aerodrome of destination is closed when he gets there. He gives his cruising speed (9) in knots. Also he must indicate whether he will fly IFR (10) or VFR (11) or, a combination of both and moreover, he gives the flight level he wishes to maintain during the flight.

The pilot will have to report to Air Traffic Control at the various reporting points. (12) With the information received from the pilot, air traffic control provides separation for his flight across the USA, the Pacific Ocean and Japan. The pilot must not stray (13) too far to the left or right of the centreline (14) of the airway. Of course a pilot must always maintain his approved altitude as many aeroplanes are flying at different levels in both directions and, unauthorized leaving of the airway or assigned flight level would be very dangerous.


VOCABULARY

1. Aeronautical Information Publication   ─ Better known as AIP
2. Notices to Airmen ─ Better known as NOTAM
3. Flight plan ─ A document prepared by the pilot before his flight
4. Airway ─ A corridor generally comprising a width of 5 miles on each side of the centre line equipped with radio navigation aids.
5. Facilities   ─ Services provided. These include buildings, such as hangars, or airport terminals, also communications, or fire fighting services etc.
6. Elevation of aerodrome ─ The height of the aerodrome above mean sea level.
7. Briefing Officer ─ The person who provides information before the beginning of the flight and receives the pilot's Flight Plan at the aerodrome of departure.
8. Alternate aerodrome ─ The aerodrome of second choice used when the aerodrome of destination is closed because of bad weather.
9. Cruising speed ─ This is the airspeed the aircraft maintains in straight and level flight.
10. IFR ─ Instrument Flight Rules. These rules must be used when visibility is poor but many flights are controlled in accordance with these rules even in good weather.
11. VFR ─ Visual Flight Rules. When visibility is good a pilot may fly in accordance with visual flight rules.
12. Reporting points ─ A specific geographical location in relation to which the position of an aircraft can be reported.
13. To stray ─ To deviate, to drift or go somewhere without intention.
14. Centreline ─ An imaginary line in the centre of an airway or a visual line in the centre of a runway.

CONVERSATION

9. When a plane has climbed and reached flight level, can it then maintain cruising speed? When it is climbing, does it have cruising speed? Can it turn and bank at cruising speed? When does it have cruising speed?

10. Are pilots forced to fly IFR when the visibility is poor? Are they forced to fly IFR in fog? Do they have to fly IFR on a clear day? When would pilots have to fly IFR? What does IFR stand for? What does the pilot look at when he is flying IFR?

11. Are all pilots licensed to fly VFR? Do they fly VFR when the weather is good? Do they use instruments in VFR conditions? What are VFR conditions? What sort of licence do pilots need to fly VFR?

12. Are there reporting points in the USA? Are there reporting points across the Pacific Ocean? In Japan? What information does the pilot give the controller at the various reporting points?

 

13. 14. Is a pilot allowed to stray slightly from the centreline? Is he allowed to stray from the airway? Why is it dangerous for a pilot to stray outside the airway? Where is the centreline? Can we see the centreline in the airway? Can we see the centreline on the runway? Why can't we see the centreline in the airway?
